More Than 50 Communities to Hold Choose Respect Events

March 17, 2011, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sean Parnell and First Lady Sandy Parnell will lead the Anchorage “Choose Respect” march and rally on Thursday, March 31, beginning at noon at the Delaney Park Strip. The governor has challenged Alaskans to step up and in this generation end the epidemic of domestic violence and sexual assault (DVSA) that plagues our state.

In the ongoing effort to raise awareness of DVSA, the Office of the Governor and non-profit groups across the state are sponsoring simultaneous “Choose Respect” events in more than 50 communities across Alaska. The public is encouraged to attend.
